Eketorps Borg

This afternoon we're visiting Eketorps Borg which was built in the 4th Century as a fortified farming village. On arriving we were disappointed to discover that the visitor centre was closed. We decided to walk down the driveway to take some pictures of the outside. Approaching the fort we were surprised to find that we were able to walk straight inside!
 
The only one of Öland's forts to have been completely excavated and reconstructed.
 

The interior has been reconstructed to show how people lived in the Iron Age.
 


They must've been very short!
